About Us
The Forsyth County Reading Association (FCRA) is a nonprofit professional organization of individuals who are genuinely concerned with the improvement and advancement of reading, writing, and language arts and their integration into all subjects. Membership in the council is open to all people, including teachers, administrators, parents, and full-time high school, college, or graduate students who are engaged in or interested in the teaching or supervision of reading at any level.
Forsyth County Reading Association belongs to the North Carolina Reading Association (NCRA), a group of more than twenty councils across our state who join together to promote literacy, sponsor the Young Authors Project, and host the North Carolina Reading Conference, which is held annually in downtown Winston-Salem in the spring.
North Carolina Reading Association Vision Statement:
We envision a world in which literacy is a basic and essential human right with ample opportunities and support provided to all individuals to become readers and writers.

Important Update!
In the past, members received .2 teacher renewal credit for each meeting attended for a potential total of 1.2 reading credits for attending all six meetings. We are currently working with WSFCS to get pre-approval for awarding these credits for the 2023-2024 year but are waiting to hear back from them about that. We are hopeful that at least some credits will be awarded for attending meetings this year but cannot guarantee that at this time. Either way, certificates will be issued to members to show the number of hours of professional development attended and/or credits earned if we are approved to award them. We apologize for this uncertainty, but it is out of our control.
